[Alatariel Telemnar]

Alatariel continued out of the stables and into the inn. She was tired after her long day, and decided to rest. She went back to her room, and lied down on her bed. There was a small candle on the table. She didn't bother to even light it, but went straight to the bed.

She continued to lie there, unable to sleep. Trying as hard as she could, yet she sat there, eyes open, staring at the ceiling. As tired as she was, she walked over to the window. There was a wooden rocking chair, the side facing the window, turned just slightly. She went over to it and sat down starring out the window. She took off her coat, and laid it on the window sill. Her long blue gown shined in the light. The small room had no breeze, it was so stuffy. Alatariel got up off the wooden rocking chair, and opened the window.

The wind blew in with so much force, Alatariel was blown back into the rocking chair. She was happy to have a breeze, but was cold. She found a blanket at the foot of the bed and wrapped it around her shoulder. Her pouch lay next to the bed. Pinking it up, she sat down on the bed and began to rummage through it. Spending a few minutes with her arm half in the bag, she finally found what she was looking for, and took out a gem. It was a sapphire, and it was huge. It wasn't attached to a chain or anything. It was just a sapphire. Alatariel starred at it for a few minutes, when she heard a rustle from outside the door, and in one quick movement put it back inside her pouch. Walking back to the window, she heard a door shut and close from outside. Alatariel sat back in the rocking chair and looked outside the window, as if she was waiting for someone.
